Using nitrogen (N) to increase plant tolerance to salinity has been tested in many species. However, in addition to controversial results, most studies are conducted with annual species and/or in the initial growth stage and there are almost no studies with perennial fruit crops in the production stage. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the produc...

The cultivation of irrigated guava in semi-arid areas highlights the need for information regarding its responses to irrigation water quality and the fertilization management that enables its exploitation. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of water salinity and nitrogen (N) doses on the growth and physiology of the guava cv. ‘Paluma’. T...

Adequate management of saline water irrigation and nitrogen (N) fertilizer application in agriculture can contribute substantially to expanding guava cultivation in the semi-arid region of Northeast Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate gas exchange and production of 'Paluma' guava cultivated with different levels of water salinity and N. The experi...

This study evaluated the growth and gas exchanges of guava, cv. ‘Paluma’ cultivated in salinized soil and subjected to different nitrogen (N) doses in a protected environment in the municipality of Campina Grande-PB. The experimental design was randomized blocks, in a 5 x 4 factorial arrangement with three replicates, and the treatments resulted fr...

In this work, we sought to evaluate the effects of irrigation water salinity in the initial development of two clones of dwarf cashew. The work was performed in the Experimental Field of Embrapa, Pacajus, CE. The experimental design was a randomized block design with four replications. At 25 and 40 days after sowing were evaluated: leaf area, ratio...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth of grafted guava cv. ‘Paluma’ subjected to different concentrations of salts in irrigation water and nitrogen (N) fertilization. The plants were transplanted to 150 L lysimeters and under field conditions at the Science and Agri-food Technology Center of the Federal University of Campina Grande, in t...

It is known that the physiological behavior of the plants under saline stress conditions vary among genotypes. Considering non existence of references about effect of salinity in West Indian Cherry plants, the objective of this study was to evaluate such effects on the growth and physiology of the clone BV1 rootstock. The studies were carried out a...

The expansion of fruit cultivation in Northeast Brazil may sometimes be restricted because areas of high potential are supplied with poor quality water. Considering the potential of soursop (Annona muricata L.) cultivation in the region and the inexistence of data on grafted seedlings of this specie under saline stress, this study was conducted to...

A expansão da fruticultura no Nordeste brasileiro pode sofrer limitações, já que algumas áreas com elevado potencial de cultivo são abastecidas por água de qualidade insatisfatória. Considerando a potencialidade de cultivo da gravioleira (Annona muricata L.) na região e o fato de não existir dados sobre a produção de mudas enxertadas dessa espécie,...

A utilização de águas com problemas de salinidade é uma das principais causas do insucesso na produção de mudas de espécies frutíferas, principalmente daquelas sem qualquer estudo prévio de tolerância ao estresse salino, como é o caso da aceroleira. Considerando a importância dessa espécie, entre as fruteiras irrigadas no Nordeste brasileiro, reali...

The use of water of marginal quality is one of the main causes of failure of production of seedlings and the especially of those crops without any previous study of salinity tolerance, as is the case of West Indian cherry. Considering the importance of this specie among irrigated fruits in northeast Brazil, the present study was conducted with the...

Com o propósito de se avaliar os efeitos da salinidade da água de irrigação na germinação e no crescimento de dois porta-enxertos e no pegamento de enxertia de cajueiro Anão Precoce, conduziu-se um experimento no viveiro do Campo Experimental de Pacajus, pertencente à Embrapa Agroindústria Tropical, no Estado do Ceará. Os tratamentos, em blocos cas...

With the purpose of evaluating effects of salinity of the irrigation water in different genotypes of precocious dwarf cashew, an experiment was conducted in greenhouse at the Experimental Station of Pacajus, belonging to Embrapa Tropical Agroindústria in the State of Ceará. The treatments in randomized block design consisted of six levels of electr...
